I agree 100% with the author's premise.  That the NYT, WaPo, etc are NOT pulling factoids out of their ears to create outright lies.

....

Whether it is actually *occurring* or not, we could argue about.  But I assume we would agree that newspapers are well capable of creating a propagandistic effect by choosing to cover Russia and avoid leading with consumer confidence, and that they are well capable of loading headlines in one direction if they so desire.

Hannity (when I've seen him) goes way too far in his implication that the media is flat-out lying, but his main point seems to be that --- > the "Fake News" creates a campaign against Trump by creating a misleading impression of his success-to-failure ratio.
